Ethics, Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity Committee

The Ethics, Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity Committee (EEDI), originally established as the BSACI Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity (EDI) Working Group, was formed in July 2020. It aims to promote an inclusive and equitable culture within the field of allergy and clinical immunology that benefits everyone. EEDI committee members are actively involved in its primary objective of coordinating the advancement of EDI across the BSACI. The EDI Working Group published the first-ever BSACI Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity Policy. Some of our other key achievements to date include:

• Producing animated podcasts for pollen desensitisation and omalizumab for chronic urticaria
• Translating Anaphylaxis Patient Information Leaflets into 5 different languages
• Increasing EDI visibility at the BSACI conference
• Ensuring speakers at our events follow the BSACI’s guidance in relation to EDI.
